What is Folding and Faulting in Geography about?
There are two main theories for how block mountains are formed: 1) Tensional forces pulling rock layers apart can cause normal faults, resulting in subsidence on the sides and an uplifted central block. 2) Compressional forces pushing up the sides can cause the central block to sink, forming a rift valley bounded by uplifted blocks. Examples of features formed by faulting include rift valleys, which can result from either tension or compression, and block mountains between normal faults.
